For quite some time we have all been talking about Indian youngsters making it big on the world stage. The first one has managed to cross the 2700 Elo and it is D. Gukesh. Born on 29th May 2006, Gukesh has achieved the feat at the tender age of 16 years, 2 months and 17 days. He is the youngest Indian player ever to achieve this feat and the 3rd youngest in the world after Wei Yi (15 years 7 months and 29 days) and Alireza Firouzja (16 years 1 month and 11 days). Gukesh has achieved it faster than Magnus Carlsen! The World Champion crossed 2700 when he was 16 years 7 months and 1 day old. And there was a pandemic in between where Gukesh didn’t play any chess for nearly 1 year.
Gukesh is now the 6th Indian to achieve this feat after Vishy Anand, Sasikiran, Harikrishna, Vidit and Adhiban. He did so at the Biel Masters 2022 by beating Le Quang Liem with the black pieces. With this win Gukesh now has a live rating of 2704 and is world no.32. He is currently India no.4 behind Anand, Harikrishna and Vidit.
Enjoy this video and the historic game analyzed by IM Sagar Shah.
